Well, I think you are mixing up things here. JAMin and other mastering tools are used to tweak levels _within_ the digital 16/24/whatever bit audio, but _not_ outside. You can not simply leave out a monitor gain stage in the signal flow and hand it's job over to the mastering tool. The monitor gain determines the translation of the digital signal level (tweaked in JAMin) into the sound pressure level produced by the speakers. Thus calibration is no malarkey. It is a very clever suggestion to freeze this translation to a fixed ratio, thus forcing the engineer to produce a healthy and meaningful signal within the digital audio. > It seems a little crazy to put all that > extra hardware into the monitor speakers themselves, > when the computer they are connected to is more than > capable of running a little DSP. You do not need extra hardware. All you need is a gain stage. i.e. an amplifier, and you need that anyway to use a monitor, be it active or passive.
